Théophile Gautier
“The public, which has been wrong before and is wrong now, can accept only demons and angels on the stage”
Theophille Gautier

Ayn Rand
“Now you see, Dr. Stadler, you're speaking as if this book were addressing to a thinking audience. If it were, one would have to be concerned with such matters as accuracy, validity, logic and the prestige of science. But it isn't. It's addressed to the public. ”
Ayn Rand
